My husbands a flirt!

November 14, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

My husbands quite a character as a lot of bloggers found out when we were in Vegas this past week. Above is a photo of him Schmoozing it up with Heather from Beautiful BC and her daughter Crystal.

As if that weren’t enough he got real close and in your face with Heather

And then flirted with her daughter Crystal too!

What a guy!

Oh and in case your wondering – he’s like this all the time! He’s quite a character to live with!

I seem to have a number of photos of Heather with two drinks in her hands. Must have been a tough flight. Perhaps she was de-stressing? 🙂

You can see more photos from my trip to Vegas at Flickr.

We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!

Recovering from a very busy weekend!

September 5, 2007 by Tricia

Well we had our family reunion this past weekend. After five days of getting together with my family I’m totally exhausted. It seems like we were always on the go.

The major highlights of the weekend were attending a baseball game – our team the Blue Jays won of course, seeing some of the cast of Heroes at the game, going on a boat cruise and gazing at the lovely city skyline at sunset from the boats deck, a big family barbecue, going to the beach on the hottest day of the weekend, dining in restaurants twice with family members and going to see my nephews photos at an art gallery.

Busy, busy, busy!

To top it all off on Sunday and Monday I really wasn’t feeling well at all. You know I have Crohns … well I thought I might need to buy some incontinence products! Yeah that’s how bad I was feeling and my stomach was just gurgling. It was awful, but I made it through.

Still, even thought I didn’t feel all that well over the weekend I enjoyed myself. I don’t get to see one of my brothers or his family very often since they live on the other side of our large country so I always try to make the best of his visits.

Did you have a nice holiday weekend? Oh … perhaps you didn’t have a long weekend. It was Labor day here on Monday and that’s a statutory holiday so all of North America had a long weekend.

We had a great time on our dinner boat cruise

September 5, 2007 by Tricia

I took this photo while on our dinner boat cruise on Saturday evening. We were on a boat cruising around on Lake Ontario just outside of Toronto. I went up on deck about a half hour before sunset and stayed there until the sun was almost down snapping approximately 200 photos of the lovely scenery as the boat slowly moved across the lake.

What a beautiful evening we had. I’d highly recommend the Toronto Dinner boat cruises if your visiting the city or even if you live in the area and want to impress your date. The dinner was served as a buffet and it was delicious.

Oh, we had a couple sitting at the table beside us who were celebrating their five year wedding anniversary. They were dressed in the same clothes they wore to their wedding. She wore a simple white wedding gown and he wore a tuxedo. Everyone thought that they’d just been married, but it was their anniversary. They must be a very romantic couple.

A little TLC for our friend

August 30, 2007 by Tricia

On Monday one of our friends came over for a visit. He’d just broken up with his girlfriend and he was feeling down so we invited him over for dinner.

Poor Oliver. He’s been really stressed out lately. He works at the hospital with us and he’s been there longer than we have. Look at me, I’m already so sick that I can’t even work, and my husbands had health problems too. I think the hospital makes people sick.

In Olivers case it’s the stress. He had to take some time off due to stress, but he hopes to return next week.

I’m still not sure why he and his girlfriend broke up as he never did say. I think he was just happy to get together with some friends and spend some time talking and eating a very good meal if I do say so myself. Check out my main blog Tricia’s Musings if you want to see what we ate. The post is called – Disgusting! But it all turned out ok. Now if that title doesn’t get you to visit my other blog nothing will. LOL

Our friend was like a different person when he was ready to leave. He was kind of stressed and super alert when he arrived around four pm, but when he was leaving at midnight he was very relaxed. I really do think that his visit to our home helped him.

We drove him home since he only lives a few blocks away. Once we were there he invited us in for a drink so we went up to his apartment for a few minutes. I just love how he’s decorated his home. He has a studio RTA furniture style going on. Simple open concept design and most of his furnishings – well entertainment units etc are made of steel so it has a cool modern look. For a guy he’s got taste!

Now that I’m talking about our friend I’ve just thought that maybe we should give him a call later today and see how he’s been doing this week. He’s such a nice guy that I hate to think of him sitting around by himself feeling down in his home.
